Where does Baby Oil come from?

Quite possibly, the first thought that occurred to you here is that the child is ready to be born. If this is accurate, I applaud you. Your sensibilities to life are the fulfillment to our humanity. What is life without a future?
Alternately, "I am done" could well mean that we are at the mercy of others.

We are all at the mercy of others?

No Skipping Please

When we artificially cause implantation to fail, this is where the Catholic Church holds firm that our actions are against the will of God. In Matthew 5:21-30, Jesus speaks to us about avoiding sin (murder, anger). Jesus does not condemn us having sinful desires (don't we all have desires - especially in anger?). Jesus condemns dwelling on illicit desires - like wanting to kill someone or having sex outside of marriage. Our desires too often drive our sinful actions. Christ shows us a better Way.
